Driver
Driver: Ping G400 Max (10.5 degrees))
Shaft: Project X HZRDUS 63 grams 6.5-flex
Ping continues to raise the bar when it comes to producing incredible drivers and the Ping G400 Max is a prime example. The G400 Max driver gives players additional distance by adding forgiveness and confident stability. The large 460cc head was created with Ping’s Dragonfly Technology; which means a thinner crown and a lowered CG position. Those features with a thin and flexible forged face helps increase ball speed and maximize MOI. The result is longer and straighter drives down the fairway. The G400 has a beautiful domed crown with integrated bolder turbulators for reduced drag to generate impressive clubhead speed and velocity. The Ping G400 Max is one of the best drivers on the market, offering phenomenal features to improve any player’s game.
Key Features
- The newer thin crown and strategically positioned CG, maximize MOI for longer, straighter drives.
- A textured face increases friction and reduces ball spin.
- The domed crown reduces drag for an increase in clubhead speed and ball velocity.
- A forged face flexes more to improve ball speed for consistently long and straight drives.

Irons
Irons: National Custom Works (3-9 iron)
Shaft: True Temper Dynamic Gold AMT Tour Issue S400
The irons that Jason currently has in his bag are fully customized by National Custom Works. You can reach them on their website: http://nationalcustomworks.com/master-craftsmen. There are very few details about the set of irons customized to Jason’s request. The 4- and 5-iron are kind of a lower CG profile, and the 6-iron through pitching wedge are more of a mid-CG profile. It was noted that Jason wanted something to knock it down and fly the ball a little bit flatter with the 6 through pitch, and then with the 4 and 5, he was looking for something a little easier to launch and hold greens.
